Re: Compulab exeda Android WinMo handheld
i would Completely in favour of Remote Desktop software for WinMobile 6.1 it is working computer on the run and portable And it doesn't matter how ugly it looks. It has a great potential to be better than Blackberry for at least some corporate users
Re: Compulab exeda Android WinMo handheld
